ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. As- RONIE CIRCI.TIT—GUILDFORD, Aua. 3, (Before Mr Justice Willes.) TILE EGHAM ACCIDENT, At the sitti ng of the court this morning, Thomas Lee, an engine driver, and John Trainer, a fireman, employed Upon the South Western Railway, surrendered to take their trial upon an indictment which charged them with t he manslaught er of five persons—namely, Joseph Clegg, °la n 00Ppard, Edward Hall, Robert Wilkie, and William Winfield.. This was the case for the prosecution. Sergeant Ballantine said he should submit to the court tthheat;ther!really was no ev id ence w h atever to b e la id b e f ore th ury m support of th e c h arge that was made aga i nst t ePris "ers. In c ases o f t hi s description it was difficult -."enue lexactly what amounted to gross negligence or ; but present occasion he should say broadly that there was no evidence at all to prove that the Prisoners had been guilty of either one or the other. With t egsrd t o the speed the evidenco was most conflicting; and even if the train had been going at the pace stated by some of th e i wi tnesses, he sh ou ld su b m i t t h at t h e pr i soners were justified in going at such a speed, when th e y w e re aware af ter th e t a train would be started a t an i n t erva l o f fi ve m i nu t es m. t , Q M r Justice Willes interposed, and expressed his opinion there at there was not sufficient evidence to show that the pri aouears Were accountable for what toad occurred. It was : l eer that there was very great confusion with regard to the toig,4alB, and after the statement of Col. Yolland it appeared ue rationally probable that if the second guard, who had ti h : *e°llcl ed, had not neglected his duty in applying the break 0 trai n fi s might have been stopped, and the accident would °- 4 ave taken place. Another point was, that the pri "Mere were entirely ignorant of the fact that the first train se to h ave stopped at Egham, and that, according to the BWheals, instead of being stopped at the Rusham station, at c h Was . no great distance . from . Eg . ham,they were actu ktio.r cording to the regulations, invited to go on. He did for v what the jury thought of the case, but he must say ad ep , iB 4 e) wn part that he thought the system which had been troaB4l.tee,d,wiivarsieas wrong_ one, and that if railway companies 70111 d persist' in pursuing such a system, and fatal accidents would be quite justified in compelling them pay h eavy damages to the relatives of those who lost their I * e a Under such t laces The question on the pre sent __ circums a . I ce tu.cession was whether the driver of a train, who was s e l l l a ignorance of the state of affairs upon the line, was thieve held responsible for an accident such as this, and Was the only question for the jury to consider. ~"1 . Best urged that it should be left to the jury to say Wh ey the driver was not guilty of criminal negligence in g t °i n ti g at such a speed as 50 miles an hour when so near the B r a n ' cal . lie admitted that there was some conflicting tes tulz-°ll7 upon this point ; but he submitted that this was a atter for the consideration of the jury. fi c k r Justice Willes said he doubted whether this was suf. . Under the circumstances, and that in order to justify 41,1hbe41 in c onv i cting it must be shown that the prisoners 1 aene t Vilty of gross and culpable negligence of such ', 4 e 4 ar Li etibtful as could not be misunderstood or considered p 4 h iter s ome further discussion, the learned judge said th e e a l 3a it would be better not to withdraw the case from a r i d : llr Y, and Sergeant Ballantine accordingly was about to T h els there.on behalf of the prisoners. conid Jury, however, i n t er f ere d, an d sa id th e y en ti re ly tillued with the view that had been taken of the case by hiteilearned judge. They were strongly of opinion that there a nd bea n no culpable negligence on the part of the prisoners, t hat the acc id ent h a d ar i sen i n consequence of the com bs 34 eUr ied Gut. ha ving gi ven dangerous instructions which could n o t i t I\lr Ja stice Willes said he was of the same opi n i on , an d Would position have b een ver y wrong t o conv i ct persons in the carry ou erred t arrangements of the descripti on th a t h a d b een re t o ‘u It seemed to him that th e acc id en t was ent i re l y be attributed to the mistaken regulations made by the -"(3 t pang, and no t t o any criminal negligence on the part of prisoners, and that it would only be a waste of time to Proceed further with the inquiry. The jury th en re t urne d a verdict of not guilty. A similar ver dict was then t a k en u p on th e coroner ' s inquisitions, and r ae prisoners were ordered to be discharged from custody. There is only one criminal case remaining to be disposed 43 r, so that in the course of to-morrow Mr Justice Willes Will no doubt assist in disposing of the cause list, Ou the civil side Baron Martin tried several common Jury causes, but none of them pr esen t e d any features of Merest to the public. 1 40NEY MARKET AND OODINEIWIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. el‘Tetviithstanding the slightly easier appearance u - t he Mo ney M arket within the last few days, t h e 4":6413' court of the Bank of Engl an d di rec t ors i s 41t ed with some interest.

At Paris this day, according to Mr. Neuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cents. were 66t, 30e. The directors of the Bank of England have advance,l thcir minimum rate of discount from 7 to 8 per cent. This measure was not anticipated, and it has consequently produced some commotion in monetary and co umercial circles. Discounters are asking 81 to 81 per cent. for the negotiation of superior three months bills, and the consequence is that the majority proceed to the Bank of England, although for the moment there is comparatively little demand. The joint stock banks and discount houses have increased their allowance of interest on deposit so conlits as follows :—For 7 days' notice of with drawal, from 51 to 6 per cent., and for 14 days, from 6 to 7 per cent.; at call, however, it remains at 5 per cent. The Eoglish Stock Market has suffered through the rise in the rate of discount. Sales have been pressed, and as much as a decline of 4 per cent. has occurred, Consols for money and account being 89k to Hi. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 882, Exchequer Bills 20s to :3s dis, India Five per Cents. 1041 . 1, and the Debentures 97k.

In the Railway Share Market a heavy tone has been produced by the advance in the value of money. Caledonian has declined 11; Great Eastern, 15:.+.; Great Western, North Western, and Midland, 10s. ; and North (Eastern (Berwick) ss. ; while Metropolitan have improved 11. The Foreign and Colonial lines have re mained inactive without material change in values. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue dull. Lotidon and County, however, have improved to 783- ; Oriental Bank to 59 60 ; Alliance have declined to 66; and Crystal Palace stock has advanced to 33k. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

The show was good and th© attendance very large. Upwards of 600 ladies and gentleman sat down to dinner in a large pavi lion on the showground. Lord John Manners, M.P., presided, and among the guests were Lord Berners, Viscount Ingestre, M.P., Lord Curzon, M.P., Mr. Packe, M.P., Mr thrtopp, M.P., Mr Hunt, M.P., General Gisborne, Mr R. Gough, Mr W. W. Tailby, Mr Spofforth, Mr Bennett, the Dean of Waterford, kc. After the usual loyal and constitutional toasts had been given and duly honoured, _ _ The " lit , alth of the Members for the Counties of was divan and warmly L re ,:i e c i e: e t d er . and Northampton', The toast was acknowledged by Mr Packe, Lord Curzon, 11Ir Hartopp, and Mr Hunt. The CHAIRMAN rose to proposo the toast of the day. After complimenting the company on the show, which, he observed, had never been exe,eiled, the noble lord said—You will now expect me to take stock of the agricultural proceedings and operations during the past year. A good deal has been said of the ravages which the disease im ported in foreign cattle has made among our own beasts; but still, in spite of those ravages, I think I may say that, with the exception of the low price of wheat, produced to some degree, no doubt, by the abundant supply which was vouchsafed to us by the last year's harvest, speaking generally, the agricul tural community has not had much meson to com plain. With reference to that low price of wheat, I think I am not wrong in asserting that the time has come when it behoves the farmer to consider deliberately and maturely whether for the future wheat ought to hold that primary place which it has hitherto held in his affections, and to say whe ther to a certain extent some other crop may not be introduced to supply the place of that which may in some degree be profitably diminished. (Hear, hear.) Now, in order to arrive at a just solution of that question, I think it absolutely essential for a moment to glance at the condition not only of English agriculture, but of English manufactures; and if in that wider glance we see reason to believe that a crop not hitherto cultivated to any appre ciable extent in England may profitably be substi tuted in some measure for that crop which during a series of years has in the opinion of many practical men failed to give a sufficient remuneration to the grower, I hope I may be excused if I venture to draw your attention to that not unimportant sub ject. (Hear.) Soon after the outbreak of the pre sent desolating American war I ventured at a large gathering in Leicester to c all atte ntion to the pro. bable increased demand wh ich wo uld arise for flax woollen goods. With regard to woo l, we are well aware of the enhanced price of that commo dity, and I think no English farmer —and certainly no Leicestershire farmer—requires to be reminded of the remuneration which he is receiving from a diligent cultivation of wool. But with respect to flax I fear that the question assumes a different cha racter. I rejoice, however, that during the last few months two members of this society have ventured on that experiment, and with your permission I will add a few words which I hope will induce others to follow their example. Within the lest few months we have had an important Government official report upon this subject, and that report has been published by the Government for the edification and instruc tion of the people. In that report Mr. Baker ex presses his anxious desire that every English far mer will for the future grow no less than five acres of flex. I do not presume to be so sanguine as Mr. Baker, but I venture to express an earnest hope that the soil will be found sufficiently favourable for that venture to the farmers of England, and that the farmers of Leicestershire will not shrink from trying that experiment. (Hear, bear.) I may be told that there is little soil in this county that is favourable to the growth of flax. I cannot set my opinion against that of any practical gentleman present, but I think, speaking generally, that some misapprehen sion exists on this subject of the soil. True un doubtedly it is that what is called a good dry loam, a strong subsoil, is the most favourable ground for the cultivation of flax; but, after all, the main point is to arrive at a clean, dry, deep bed for the flax seed, I think I see a sufficient representation of agricul tural skill before me to know that other soils besides those foams can be very easily made available for that purpose. [A Voice—Hos7 will it pay P] I hear a gentleman inquire, " How will i: pay ?" And that, after all, is the important question ae issne — ( h ear) and the gentleman will find a full and amble answer in a little work which has recently been pu;;Jished by a practical farmer, who has for many years trsed the experiment. Mr. Charley gives you a course of practical results, and shows that the lowest clear prcfit per acre is £ 3, and the highest £l5 10s, and that profi thavet is £9. (Hear, hear.) I do not presume been the mean profits of ht cultivation during the l as t s i x years in the wheat e t a the c meantlo ask country, but I believe that if you can get a profit of £9 per acre it will not be an unprofitable mode of asked," Can you depend or. c(tlllineleiciavOnaiiinnßg;:auteeetonifrtytahyraebgtee' a portion of your farms. reat demand which at present in linen exiets ?" On looking at the report of Mr. Baker I great demand for flax linen fi n d that there is a very goods not only in the United Kingdom, but through. out Europe ; that at the present moment the France are working day and manufacturers are cry ing out for more flax—that upwards of 200,000 new have been ordered at flaganpi night--that :Ispindles hfao tr manufacturerstHag machinery Irish Leeds and Bradford during the last few months— and that there is among those conversant with the subject an apprehension of a flax famine. (Hear, hear). I think you may rely upon it there is no fear of any present remunerative demand for linen goods, and I may say, further, although the Irish farmers have been lately so stirred u p that they have added during the last year 64,000 acres to the cultivation of flax, u pwards of one ball the raw material worked up in the United Kingdom comes from abroad, and that supply is estimated at not less than six millions of money. (Hear . ) T he 8 4 millions of money we are now sending to Archangel, t o India, and good nees knows where, for the supply of that charming little plant which might be grown on our own soil to be afterwards worked by our own countrymen. (Hear, hear.) If there be say disposition in the Leicestershire agricultural communit y to make this as I think an easy and hopeful venture, I shall be proud and pleased to offer a humble prize for the best sample of flax that can be shown at our newt meeting. (Cheers.) Having addressed myself to that topic which seemed to me to be most in ac cordance with the objects of thi s meeting, I will now say a few words on .the uneventful Session which has just closed. With the exception of the abortive attempt to legislate on, and if possible to prevent, the entrance of diseased cattle into our ports, I am not aware of any important measure that has received the sanction of her Majesty di .; rectly affecting the interests of agriculture. A measure, it is true, has received the Royal assent; but when four members of Parliament have ad dressed you without making any reference to it, I think I may be pardoned if I assume that it is not one that greatly stirs or excites the agricultural mind. I allude to the Act which Permits those who are interested or en gaged in agriculture to malt barley for feeding cattle. (A laugh.) I heard the mention of that Act received with derisive cheers, and t confess I am not in the least surprised at such a reception. But although the Act is a dead letter, yet indirectly I think we may attribute a certain degree of importance to it. A movement took place daring the autumn and winter in favour of the re peal or a great diminution of the malt tax. But tending 1 before any proposition in that direction could be brought before Parliament, the Chancellor of the Exchequer feeling, as I suppose, the impos sibility of maintaining under a system of free trade a law which prohibited the producers of barley and the manufacturers of meat from dealing as they might think best with an article of agricultural produce, introduced the measure to which I have referred. When its burdensome and troublesome provisions were made known, I do not think there was a practical man in the country who believed that any good would come of it, and I am not stir -1 prised that en agricultural assemblage attaches no importance to the mutter directly, but indirectly I think the measure, after the admission of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, will tend to a great reduction, and the question can no longer be treated with lighteress or derision. (Hear ) My belief is that if the discussion of that question is persevered in with moderation and temper, and if the interests of the great body of consumers are identified with those of the producers of barley and the manufac turers of meat, the question may be pressed in a future session to an eventful issue. (Cheers.) Inte resting, painfully interesting, as the past session has been to all who love the good faith, honour, and dignity of this country, I am not aware, with the two exceptions I have mentioned, that anything has occurred which necessarily calls for any remark whatever. Speaking generally, I should say that the partial collarse of that great industry which de pends entirely for its raw material on foreign sup plies, the continued and remarkable advance of these manufacturing industries which ci!aw their supplies of raw material either altogether or eLietly from our own country or our own colonies have, in spite of the comparatively small imports of foreign ea!tle, all have combined to create in public opinion, both within and without the walls of Parliament, a far greater appreciation of the enormous national importance of those homely old-fashioned opera tions to which you, as a society, are devoted. I believe that the run of common sense has in that respect set in, and that there is not at the present moment a manufacturing township in the north in which the transcendent importance of a good har vest and of agricultural improvement is not fully and cheerfully recognised--(hear, hear)—and when we talk of agricultural improvements we do not in this society mean only the application of fresh skill and industry and capital to the soil, we do not mean only the increased return from a grateful soil which will follow that application of capital and industry, but we mean the advancement in the social scale of that great and deserving class, the tillers of the soil, whose virtues, whose skill, whose industry, and whose good conduct, this society recognizes and en deavours to encourage and promote. Animated, then, by the conviction that the promotion of agri culture subserves the best interests of all classes of the English community, and that these societies and these gatherings tend to promote that bene ficial result, I ask you to join me in drinking "Prosperity and success to the Leicestershire and Waltham Agricultural Society." (Loud cheers.) Several other toasts were given, and duly honoured. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF EURGLARY,—A few days ago a young man, named Philip Selby Moss, who gave an address at Manchester, was charged at this court with burglariously breaking and entering a house in War dour-street, he having entered the house by climbing up the street door and forcing himself through the fanlight. He told the persons in the house that he had come there for protection in consequence of being pursued by several thieves. The prisoner's conduct was so singular that Mr Knox considered that no burglary was contemplated and that the young man's mind was affected. He therefore remanded the young man that his friends might be commu nicated with. This morning Mr Smith, a wholesale stationer, ac quainted with the family, attended, and stated that he had seen the young man at the House of Detention, and that he believed he was not in his right state of mind. Amongst other things he had told him that he had been pursued by 12 men, snd that he had 10 sisters. Mr Knox said he had received a letter from Mr Alder man Heywood, of Manchester, who knew the family, and from inquiries that gentleman had made, he found that, having been refused admission at a late hoar by his sister to their house, he had left the place, and nothing further was heard of him till the reports appeared in the papers. Mr Smith said one of the young man's sisters would attend and take him back with her if he was allowed to go. Mr Knox said he should have no objection to give him back to his friendr, being under the impression the young man was not in his right state of mind. A gentleman said the young man had been subjected to fits, and once jumped from a high window, but that was two years ago, since which time there had been no recur rence to the fits. Mr Knox observed that the best thing that could be done would be to put the young man under medical treatment, When the young man was brought before him to-morrow, if his friends were in attendance, he would be given up. A SOLDIER CII.IIIGED WITH WILFUL DAMAGE.—James Edward Smith, a private of the Grenadier Gnat de, was charged before Mr Knox with wilfully, while drunk, da tnaging two bell handles, the property of Mr Parker, of 21, Portland-street, Soho. Mrs Parker said that on the previous afternoon an oyster shell was thrown through an open window on to a landing of her house, and shortly after she heard violent knocking and ringing. She went down to the door, and found the prisoner violently ringing the bells, and making use of the most disgusting language. Damage was done to the bell handle to the amount of 6s. Mrs Williams, residing in the same house proved seeing the prisoner hammering the bell handle with the buol►le of 1 3. 9 belt. He accused her cf having robbed him. The priso:ler was very drunk. Sergetoat Edwards, C 2—Saw the prisoner, who was very drunk, stan,ling at the door of the house surrounded by a large crowd. The prisoner, who had his belt in his hand at the time, admittei breaking the bell handles, but said he would pay for them. The prisoner said he went down the mews at the side of the house and some water wag thrown over him, and he only went to the house for satisfaction when a piece of crust of bread was thrown in his face. The prisoner's sergeant gave him a fair character, but paid he had been absent five days. Mr Knox ordered him to pay the damage, a fine of 10s., or in default to be committed for 14 days.

SCANDALOUS ROBBERY OF A SAILOR.—Sarah Williams, who carried a child in her arms, and Sarah Downey, two notorious thieves, who have often been in custody, were brought before Mr Paget charged with stealing a £lO Bank of England note, 30s. in gold, and 17s. or 18s. in silver, from the person of Henry Young, a very smart homeward seaman, who has been recently paid off. The prosecutor said he met with Williams yesterday evening, and went home with her to a house in Downshire street, Commercial-road. After being with her some time she was cuddling him up to fondly, and calling him her dear Jack, that he knew she was then getting over him, as it was the way the girls got over chaps. Soon after that he found her taking the guard off his silver watch. He th en began to suspect her, and missed ell his money. There was a £lO note in a piece of paper, his gold in a purse, and his silver loose. He left the house when ho missed his money and thought ho would go home. He met Williams again coming out of a public house. She tried to get h is watch again, but the guard was too strong. He gave her into custody, and Downey then interfered and tried to pull her away. In answer to questions by the magistrate, the sailor said he had never been robbed before; but he know the ways of the girls, when they ro bbed a sailor they pretended to be very f en d of him. He had a good deal of drink last night. He met Williams on Tuesday for the first time. He did not go h om e with her then, because he was not paid off. He was certain he had his money in his pockets when he went home with her. He felt her hands in his pocket. Williams here said she never saw the sailor until he gave her into cust.2.4. James Buckley, a police constable , No. 140 H, s aid the prisoners were given 12,t0 custody by Young, who said th a t Downey fondled him, ant thiew her petticoats over his head when he we nt home with Williams. The woman calling herself Sarah Williams ha,:l given a false name and address. Her real name was Margaret Pease, or Pea. Young was recalled, and said he did not know whether Downey was in the house or not when he entered it with Williams, He then made some contradictory statements. Mr Paget could n ot rely on the sailor's evidence, an d discharged the prisoners. CHLoßoronm.—lf, in experiments with chloro form on dogs, rabbits, &c., poisoned on purpose, we almost immediately find (as we do) that the most marked, indeed only marked pest-mortem appearance, is cardiac syncope,that is, this gorging of the right cavity of the heart with healthy blood, the lungs passive: if in post mortem examinations ofti p patients ia hositals that have suc cumbed to chloroform, we find the same thing, the statistical inference appeared to Snow very clear, though it is au error, th a t the deaths wer e from paralysis of the heart. So it is considered in nearly all our standard books on surgery, a nd electricity is still tried in the hospitals to the heart I in many cases, without any good effect whatever. One is very desirous that the true manner of applying elec tricity to the phrenie nerve and respiratory muscles in d eep a nwethesia with a magneto-electro current were better known, as in this form this agent is most effectual in re storing life; while, applied to the heart directly, as i s usual, it only extinguishes what life there is left in that organ, and coagulates this blood in the right cavities, in cases of apparent death from drowning, it is even more valuable, but a "terra incognita" to our "humane Society." Reasoning, indeed, from a large experience of ten or a dozen years, watching chloroform administration in London hospitals; in more than ten thousand cases, he author believes that the heart is never attacked by this paralysis, which appears from a mere " post hoe" statisti cal induetion.—Dr Kidd's Ircatise on chloroform. 1511 1 5 3 4 091 Si 0 1207} 1 107 6 1.7 k 671 i 0131 141314 i3l i 1391 82 SECOND EDITItOU.

Th e re is no doubt but that such visits are very useful in Boy . manning the navy, as they excite a desire for the service among the young men, while entailing no extra expense on the Government. THE Ipswica MAIL BAG ROBBERY.—On TUesa day, at Manchester, sentence was passed on the woman, Frances Lindley, who was on Friday last charged before Mr. Ba rcn Pi g ott with having in her possession two £5 notes, which formed part of the contents of the mail bag stolen some months ago, during its transit frcm Ipswich to London, under most mysterious and inexplicable circum stances. The registered letter bag was placed in the Lon don sack, which was deposited in the mail van of the train for London ; but when the sack was o p ened by the travel letter sorter the Ipswich registered l e tter bag was missed, and the two £ 5 notes were all that had since been traced of the bag and its contents. A remittance of £1,28.! - s 2d, of which £2OO was in bank n otes, was in the bag. I The prisoner was identified as the person who had changed the notes by two Manchester tradesmen, and, in s p ite of her denial, was found gu ilt y by the jury, A. former con viction for pocket picking was proved against her, and sen tence was deferred until Tuesday morning, when Mr Baron Pigott sent her to prison for 18 mourns' hard labour. )110 the ted t s the se, ieLl to° OD: P°P p it. bo at ,011" iefol - 0 of fa ° 70o' ;c ra , e re the 4 , ( 3 00 4 o'o Share 18.14.; 0.16.4 12.10 Shan Tdo sk I 20 20i 10 100 100 iOO 4 teak btook stook 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 stool: stock stock s'ook
